BLISTERED GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Blistered Green Beans With Shallots and Pistachios image

The bittersweet taste of blistered green beans shines through the strong flavors of soy and lime in this side dish, where fried shallots, garlic and pistachios add crunch. Cutting the beans in half makes them easier to maneuver in the wok and helps them cook evenly. For a bit of heat, toss in a minced bird's-eye chile or sprinkle some red-pepper flakes over the dish when adding your garnishes. You can serve these blistered beauties alongside your Thanksgiving turkey - but they're equally at home on the dinner table, regardless of the season.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed, plus more as needed
3 medium shallots or 1 small red onion, peeled and sliced crosswise into rings
Fine sea salt
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed and cut in half
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large wok or saucepan set over high, adding more as needed to cover the bottom. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots and season with salt. Cook until shallots turn golden brown and slightly crisp, about 4 to 6 minutes. (Watch them carefully, and pull them from the pan when just golden, or they will taste very bitter.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to a medium bowl.
  • In the same wok, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high. Fry the garlic and pistachios, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the pistachios are light brown, about 30 to 45 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the bowl with the shallots.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the green beans and season with salt. Stir-fry until they blister, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the soy sauce to the green beans and remove from heat. Add lime juice and black pepper and fold to coat.
  • Transfer the green beans to a serving bowl or plate. Garnish with the fried shallots, garlic and pistachios. Serve immediately.

I got this recipe from Good Housekeeping UK when at the Helsinki Airport a few weeks ago. Looked good and made for Canadian Thanksgiving. It was a hit! Very tasty and easy!

Provided by Cathy17

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 1 pan, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 ounces green beans, ends snapped
1/4 cup butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 -4 slices prosciutto
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
5 ounces cream or 5 ounces half-and-half

Steps:

  • Cut the ends off the beans, then cook in salted boiling water until just tender. I steam them til they are still crisp and bright green.
  • Run cold water over beans to stop the cooking process.
  • Melt butter in a large pan and gently cook onions until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add Prosciutto, garlic, and parsley and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a light boil. Do not leave unattended, otherwise cream will burn.
  • Once mixture is hot, add green beans, mix to coat and warmed through.
  • I did the sauce and green beans ahead, mixed them together and reheated on the stove. Turned out great!
